Abstract The HL-LHC project aims to reach larger peak luminosities, however this can lead to a high pile up in the detectors. To control the pile up, luminosity levelling has been suggested. One proposed method is β*-luminosity levelling, in which beams collide at a larger than nominal β*. The β* is then reduced in steps as the beam intensity decays. This allows the luminosity to be kept constant over part of a physics fill. The use of round or flat optics will change the beam-beam effect of the head on collisions as well as the long range interactions. Here simulations of β* levelling are presented for the case of flat and round beam optics and the difference in terms of the beam-beam effect is highlighted.
